Supersessionism (British English: supercessionism) an replacement theology are particular interpretations of New Testament claims, viewing God's relationship with Christians as superseding his prior relationship with Jews (or Israelites). Biblical expressions of God's relationships with people are known as covenants, so the contentious element of supersessionism is the idea that God's New Covenant with the universal Church replaces God's Mosaic Covenant with Israel and B'nei Noah, and in particular the Mosaic Law (or Torah).
